In this episode of In Her Season, host Emily, founder of Alba Moon, shares her deeply personal journey into motherhood and the work that grew from it.
Emily is a postpartum doula, supporting women and families in the tender season after birth. Through Alba Moon, she offers grounded, compassionate care — holding space, honouring each family’s unique story, and supporting mothers as they integrate the physical, emotional, and identity shifts of early motherhood.
In this conversation, Emily opens up about her own path to motherhood, including her experience with IVF and genetic testing, and how these chapters shaped both her personal journey and her calling to support others. She reflects on the vulnerability, uncertainty, and resilience that marked this season, and how it deepened her understanding of postpartum care.
Together, we explore the importance of being deeply supported after birth — creating memories that last a lifetime, telling your story with tenderness, and ensuring no mother feels rushed, dismissed, or alone.
